You have three findings:
1. Red colored urine
2. Kidney stone
3. High prolactin
Kidney stones can cause red urine. The kidney might be developing CKD. So do urea and creatinine. Kidney problems can stop excretion of prolactin so prolactin goes up.
On the other side, there may be pituitary adenoma causing hyperprolactinemia.
Next Steps
1. Do Occult blood in urine.
2. Do blood urea and serum creatinine.
3. Do MRI brain with dynamic contrast enhancement.

Light red or pink urine after drinking beet juice is a harmless and very common phenomenon called beeturia â it's not blood. However, since you have a 6mm kidney stone, it's worth monitoring as stones can also cause blood in urine. Your high prolactin is a separate hormonal issue that needs follow-up but is unrelated to the urine colour.
Next Steps
Get your prolactin retest done as planned and follow up on the kidney stone with your urologist. Please consult me directly on Practo for a detailed evaluation.
